Questions for Mrs. Hamblin by Kerry Hamblin https://padlet.com/kchamblin/l4gdutd1qgpqc9y Made with love en-us 2021-11-04 13:15:48 UTC 2022-02-08 11:51:56 UTC hello@padlet.com 8th course https://padlet.com/kchamblin/l4gdutd1qgpqc9y/wish/1867613296 Can you take an 8th course during the school year
A: Yes!  But...it can't be a graduation requirement class.  So, like AP Psychology or AP Spanish.  You have to pay the fee since its outside the school day.  The one exception to this rule is that you CAN take Economics/Personal Finance as an 8th course in 9th, 10th, or 11th grade.
